The Coldwell Banker Canada network recently announced its top Canadian award winners based on their 2020 performances. Top Canadian companies, sales representatives and teams were revealed in a live virtual awards event attended by hundreds of Coldwell Banker professionals across Canada.
“Sales professionals faced unprecedented challenges during the past year,” says Andy Puthon, president of Coldwell Banker Canada. “They adapted to rapidly changing conditions, while remaining vigilant to the health and safety of home buyers and sellers. Throughout these challenging times, they continued to earn the trust of consumers as they navigated one of the most active markets in recent history. We are incredibly proud of all our award winners across Canada for the dedication and resiliency they demonstrated as they served their communities throughout 2020.”
The Top Rookie of the Year, Emma Lafreniere of Coldwell Banker Preferred Real Estate in Steinbach, Man. earned top rookie honours in both unit sales and volume. She was also named Top Rookie in North America in both categories. “This is the first time a Canadian rookie has ever achieved this distinction,” said Puthon during his presentation at the event. “Emma has a great future ahead of her and her achievement is truly an inspiration to our entire global network.”
